Wonder if ol' Wolfie boy will remind the current Press Secretary that she was caught in multiple lies by him. On HIS network. Which happens to be non other than... wait for it... CNN.... good times lie ahead. Good times. If anything the left has proven over decades is that they can't get out each other's way trying to get as much power as possible for themselves. Country be damned. It's all about the march to communism and group think.

So I googled it and it said it was whites that want to Publicly show pride in their race and culture. However the connection has been made between people who feel this way and racism. So the question for me is, can you be proud of your ancestry and not be racist? Every other race is able to do so without question. Why do whites have to play by different rules?

this is for Mormad and Civ...

All people should be proud of their heritage, whether good or bad. You may find things in your ancestry that you might disagree with; however, that doesn't mean you shouldn't be generally proud.

I am southerner and I am proud of my Southern Heritage. This includes the Confederate Flag. Oh, and BTW, one of my best friends growing up, in Cary, was a black person. He spent the night at my house regularly.

I am an America First person!!! I am damn proud of that!!!

So, people that celebrate Kwanza... are they Black Nationalist? Isn't that a celebration of their race and culture?

I remember in high school the African medallions that wore worn by African Americans, the Malcolm X shirts, hats etc.... They also wore "Black and Proud", "Black Pride" etc.... now.... imagine a world were that is promoted and accepted.

Now imagine a white kid wearing a medallion with the United States on it, wearing a "White Pride" or "White and Proud" shirt. What do you think the end result would be?

The liberals/socialists have made being white a sin that we should have to apologize for. You saw the responses on here. The first was of course, racism. If that word didn't exist the world would be a much better place and the democrats wouldn't have a caucus because that's the only way they know how to get votes. Keep em' poor, keep em' in the inner cities, keep crime high by defunding police and most of all, make sure that the schools do not get the money they need to educate their voters.

Look at ALL the major cities. What have they had in common for decades? Controlled by democrats. If the democrats have all the answers then why the hell haven't they solved the problems in the big cities? Especially the inner cities with a majority black/brown population?

Answer: THEY DON'T WANT TO.

now put that in your pipe and smoke it

CNN reported earlier today that the Biden Team said they were left with NO information, blue print etc.. on the vaccine relief. Funny, a few minutes later Biden's medical expert Dr. Fauci said the EXACT opposite. How the hell do people still look at CNN with a straight face. I mean Civ uses them for his talking points. He posts straight off their front page headlines.

Where did you click on from your google search did get that definition? Webster's defines what nationalist as "one of a group of militant whites who espouse white supremacy and advocate enforced racial segregation."

White supremacist started using white nationalist because they thought the problem with white supremacy was branding. These people that will tell you the swastika is a symbol of spirituality.

Regarding white people celebrating ancestry and history, are you unfamiliar with St. Patrick's Day? Irish Americans celebrate it annually. German and Italian American's celebrate their history and culture through food, language and art all the time. This is how different "white" groups celebrate their heritage and history. These is the rules that "white" people celebrate by. And no one questions it. So I'm not really sure what you're talking when you say "whites" can't celebrate their history.

Most African American's can't celebrate the same way as "whites". Their history is different and often only goes back 100 years or so. Their story as a group is just different because they don't a story preAmerica to connect too. Their history is only the American story.

My response to Steve did nothing more than suggest that i thought the responses to his question, given the history here, would be very entertaining. It did not in any way suggest my answer to his question. I also didn't suggest any agreement with Civ except that we both felt it baited responders. My question wasn't "idiotic" because you assumed my political answer to Steve's question would mirror Civ's (don't bullsht me and say you didn't) and you responded like i wouldn't agree with the response you gave and you needed to teach me something. Wrong assumption, but you know what assumptions do. You do know I'm a conservative, right? Or does not arguing with Civ make me liberal?

I believe that there are black Germans, Italians, Irish, English. Didn't know that St. Patrick's Day was strictly for white people. We are all dumber from having read that post. Pretty sure also that African American history goes back more than 100 years. Maybe you should delete that post and grab a history book. That my friend was very poor form. It is also sad that you don't value the contributions that African Americans made to this country prior to the 1920's. Not sure what to say about that.

I am sure these American heroes would disagree with you denigrating their contributions to America regardless of the way things were back then. Thinking that African American history only goes back 100 years is insulting any way you spin it.

I'm not bull****ting you or anybody else. You referenced Steve's post. I directed the response to you and included Civ as he is typically an agitator on issues.

Ground Chuck is talking about the genealogical challenge for so many African Americans of understanding their lineage when the Census only started recording their ancestors as people (distinct from their owners) in 1870.

Genealogists call it the "Brick Wall" phenomenon, and it's unique to African Americans in this country. One you get back to around 1870, you hit the wall.

Before 1870, you know how you have to research your genealogy if you hit that Brick Wall?

You have to find the pertinent tax records, where your ancestors are listed as property.

Stop with the faux judgment.

Thanks for endorsing his post. By you doing that it proves my point exactly. Do you think ALL white people can trace their genealogy back past 100 years? Are you that naive to think that all white people can trace their roots back to creation.

Your defense of his statements hold about as much water as his original post. None.

So slavery ended in 1865. As your party is clamoring for reparations how will that work? If you can't go back any farther than 1870 won't it prove to be an issue to determine who and who is not descendants of slaves?

Your party finds more ways to play the victim card than it does to try and solve actual issues. As far as your statement on the "Brick Wall phenomenon" it took me less than 3 seconds to find ONE article of MANY that disproves your false statement.

From 1865 to 1872, the Freedmen's Bureau helped tens of thousands of freed slaves build new lives, while documenting nearly every aspect of the post-Civil War experience. As a result, the Freedmen's Bureau records are among the most valuable sources of information on African American genealogy. This allowed the governments to document freed slaves, their families, where they were from and their pasts.

Nice try with your "faux outrage."
